Mission #1, Day 5
Last day of the first ever Mission Week. Today's inspiration comes from the legendary Babe Ruth (which I can never think of without quoting The Sandlot).
What this meant was that I was going to go for a sporty look. Which, as I explained last year, is kind of hard to pull off in a law office.
Luckily, I had the odds in my favor. It was really super busy, so no one really cared what I was wearing. The boss was out of town. And I had picked up this awesome varsity jacket last year that I knew immediately I could incorporate into my sporty look.
Speaking of busy at work, today I found the perfect solution to calm and serenity for dealing with a "run your ass off while everyone demands your attention, expertise and help" day at work.
Earphones and Pandora. For me, when I am busy, don't talk to me. Don't even talk about the weather. I don't care. I don't want to hear it. I gotta stay focused.
Luckily, I had brought my iPad and my earbuds. All the stations on my Pandora were annoying the crap out of me, so I opted to go rogue and put it on some of my favorite comedy channels.
Not only did people notice it was a "she's got her earbuds in, don't talk to her" kind of day, but those that didn't notice the earbuds certainly noticed me randomly bursting into laughter while assembling exhibit notebooks, crunching numbers on our calculator machine thingy and drafting pleadings. Thus causing them to just think I was crazy and didn't want to talk to me anyway.
Varsity Jacket-Marshall's; Dane Cook Tee-from show; Polka Dot Ruffled Pencil Skirt-Ann Taylor, thrifted; Black Tights-Wal-Mart; Canvas Linen Peep Toe Wedges-c/o Blowfish; Necklace-K-Mart; Earrings-old

Your red jacket is awesome and the wide leg sailor pants....awesome-r! I love this look.
I love thrifting. About 80 to 85% of what I own was thrifted. My sis doesn't like thrifting for all the reasons you mentioned but me, I don't mind at all for all the good reasons you've also pointed out. Friends see my wardrobe and think that I have a lot of money to throw away on clothes. I know I don't.
The good thing about thrifting here is that the clothes come from different parts of the world, mostly Asian brands and most of the quality is great.

Love the mix of masculine military vest and very feminine pink skirt!

Serious bragging rights you've got there, Frannie! State Senator! Wow! Kudos to Conner!
Now I've seen a lovely way to style my brown skirt. Cute look.
I wish I knew suggestions to give about Kaden. I'm sorry that I don't.

I understand its good to be responsible about spending money, but when a Giorgio Armani item is that dirt cheap you'll be needing jail to keep me from getting them. Looooove your dress; all the pockets and buttons! it's so fab with the leo shoes.

Love your relaxed look. Acceptance of people from a different culture, ethics, sexuality, color, e.t.c is something a lot of people (myself inclusive) need to learn. I think that it's an individual thing. And is a pointer to how open-minded and humane someone truly is. I think that at first there is the shock to overcome and then if someone is open-minded they become accepting of the other person.
I must confess I did wonder about some of your work outfits, but you're lucky τ̲̅☺ have such relaxed dress code at work. I like the occasional power suit myself but on the regular I don't. Cute monochrome look. Love your necklace.
